Arrival

One of cinema's greatest achievements, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, is joyful in large part due to the time paradoxes it introduces.

Mad props to Amy Adams & company for the Bill & Ted tribute.

Big Eyes

What a great, engaging, funny film--it actually made me want to go out & read more about the topic!

And kudos to Tim Burton in not ruining the whole thing by casting Johnny Depp.

The Muppets

The best Muppet movie in forever; these guys are definitely best when they are playing themselves.

Although to be honest, the leads sound & even look different enough (skin & fur replacement therapy, Piggy & Fozzie?) that it's plausible these are doppelgangers.

Adam

What in less-talented hands could easily have been a Lifetime movie of the week material here becomes a work which is at turns hilarious & gripping, and well-done throughout.

Worth driving way out of the way to see--which is what you'll likely have to do.

Julie and Julia

The truth as I see it: the worse the movie, the more fun the blog.

Julie & Julia was fun from beginning to end--and thus a real bore to write about.
